You Call Yourself a Christian

by Donal Hinely

lyrics

You call yourself a Christian, you like the way it sounds
If Jesus was a refugee you’d turn his ass around
And send him back to Pilot to wear a thorny crown
Tell me how it is you missed the message

You call yourself a Christian, but really who’s to say
If the king of kings was uninsured you’d let him die today
or lose his home all because of bills he couldn’t pay
Maybe you just didn’t get the message

chorus:
The message is, as best as I can tell:
Love your neighbor and your enemy as well
Lend a hand to those less fortunate than you
And always treat your brother like you wanna be treated too

You call yourself a Christian, it’s something that you sell
if Jesus loved another man you’d damn his soul to hell
To suffer with the atheists and the Democrats as well
someone ought to tell you ‘bout the message

chorus)
The message is, as best as I can tell:
Love your neighbor and your enemy as well
Lend a hand to those less fortunate than you
And always treat your brother like you wanna be treated too

You call yourself a Christian, easier said than done
If Mother Mary crossed the border you would take her son
and throw him in a dirty cage, before the day was done
It’s a bummer that you never got the message

chorus)
The message is, as best as I can tell:
Love your neighbor and your enemy as well
Lend a hand to those less fortunate than you
And always treat your brother like you wanna be treated too
